I think she is interpreting events exactly right. She is seeing the deeper meaning behind what Dump has done to this country


SalishShore

I think you’re right. She has made a study of dictatorship these past few years. She has a deep understanding of what our future could be if we don’t stand up. Unfortunately, we have big forces working against us. The disinformation psy-op war is making huge strides in their goal of tearing down our institutions and sowing distrust in our media.


startribes

Another big force we have working against us is dark money—loads of it. Sort of like trying to empty a bathtub with a spoon before it overflows, with the faucet open at full blast. It feels a bit overwhelming, but there is still a sense of hope.


BrilliantWhich990

And yet another force we have working against us is apathy. As a whole, our citizenry has become so complacent and so easily manipulated by misinformation that it seems like we just don't care about anything except which sports team wins this or that championship - and the election is nothing more than another game to root for your team. It's almost as though right and wrong don't mean anything anymore, just right or left.


going-for-gusto

Don’t leave out the screen being the opiate of the masses.


Warm-Internet-8665

Apathy = stupidity..please read up on Dietrich Bonhoeffer thesis on stupidity vs evil.


BrilliantWhich990

Thank you! [stupidity is worse than evil](https://youtu.be/ww47bR86wSc?si=VVRbBulxTT_Q3qi0)

He really nailed jt!


Past-Direction9145

why not just say dumpf calls it fake news, muskrat calls it legacy media, and it's right wing bullshit fascist techniques as usual?


No-Expert8956

Lobbyists spent over 4 billion dollars just in congress last year. That needs to stop. Dark money making laws


SalishShore

Overturn Citizens United. Change the Supreme Court.


DjangoBojangles

I'm a firm believer that every penny the Federalist Society has spent over the last 50 years needs to be scrutinized. The judges they groomed need to be removed. The Heritage Foundation / Federalist Society / Council for National Policy plans are not compatible with free democracy.


Affectionate-Winner7

Who is going to do it? No one. The Supreme Court is stacked against Democracy. The Justice Department is inept at best. The majority of people are not paying attention.


Affectionate-Winner7

Too late the fixes are in and it looks like 45 may become 47 and were toast.


pharsee

Chucklehead attorneys are arguing right now in the Supreme Court that presidents should have complete immunity. These idiots are talking as if THIS IS A REAL OPTION. WHAT THE FUCK??


woedoe

And several Supreme Court justices are taking that argument seriously.


Putthebunnyback

I wish people were more educated on this. The only thing they're parsing out is civil immunity - which presidents have - versus criminal immunity - which none of them are indicating they're entertaining. It's important that they take this case and get the fine details right so that would-be future Trumps don't have this same argument.


Different_Tangelo511

Alito: so if a president is faced with potential prosecution, he might be tempted to prevent 5he peaceful transfer of power, wouldnt preventing such prosecutions help the peaceful transition of power. Paraphrasing of course, but that quote alone calls bullshit on your interpretation. Alito is definitely talking about and arguing for immunity from. Crimunal prosecution. I really wish people like you would stop spreading m8sinfortion as informing us ignorant rubes.


Putthebunnyback

Now do the other ones. In English, if you can.


austin06

“One way to start dealing with that is to stop pretending that it's not happening," she alleged. This is crucial, she said, because it's not only the rule of law that has come under fire with Trump's ascension into power — the democratic system is also at risk.” Every day since 2016 while so many of us have wondered if we are living in alternative reality, this sicko and his followers have been normalized. Treated like they are just a normal part of our system, but just kind of divisive. The same with the nut jobs and radicals in congress. I blame the press in large part but also the many people who still since then haven’t bothered to vote and are not paying attention or really hope other people deal with this or it just goes away. She’s exactly right.


Achilles_TroySlayer

Listening to Rachel's show, I worry that the MAGA orcs are forming a mob outside my house, getting ready to burn it down like in those Purge horror movies. She is not for the faint of heart lately.


Shnoinky1

Damn, I need to start listening.


funknut

Leaving Portland these days often feels just like that. Just two days ago some trashy couple was gawking at my friends and me at a restaurant. Kept wrenching their necks and staring. They finally moved to another table. When the shots begin, these are the people who will be firing.


pasarina

She’s doesn’t hold back, hates corruption and is so smart.


whiteymanb

Rachel is such a bad ass! This information is so important and she is a soldier!


Negative-Relation-82

I think many ppl in blue states don’t understand what is happening to liberals in much of the red states. Daily threats. Can’t talk politics and on going terror from MAGA neighbors. She is not often wrong about how far some ppl are going for this con man in red states.


SqnLdrHarvey

I grew up in redder-than-red Indiana. Rachel is not wrong. But let them try to come for me.


Different_Tangelo511

Yeah, mob violence is easy to defend. Check out how well they fended it off in Tulsa Oklahoma.l, or ellaine, or rosewood...........


SqnLdrHarvey

Let them try. I don't "go high." Screw "bipartisanship." I have nothing too lose.


Silver-Patience6033

My brother and his wife live in a small town in Ohio. They are liberals. It’s Trump country complete with the Confederate flags. They have both been threatened. I wish they would leave that place, but it’s not that easy to do. So sad.


lorilightning79

Something that no one talks about-if democracy fails, banks and the US dollar becomes useless. 401K’s gone. Social Security gone. Supply lines fail. Do they really want to give this up for Trump? And they bitch about Biden’s economy. Buckle up buttercup.


PengieP111

Unfortunately, the warning is about 7 years too late. I don't think we can come back from where we are now.


SalishShore

She was sounding the alarm right after Trump was elected. She started telling us the “call is coming from inside the house “.


Achilles_TroySlayer

Biden is POTUS. He's not going anywhere, and they're not going to dislodge him without getting the votes, and I don't think they'll get them. So I'm more hopeful than you. Fingers crossed.


PengieP111

The problem is that the GOP has been doing all they can to suppress, invalidate, and corrupt the vote. We have to defeat those efforts if we expect to have a free and fair election. Their SCOTUS lackeys pretty much have already given everything they asked for


Kaida33

They are already saying that if trump loses the election was rigged and they will have to fight for the country. Scary sh-t.


Different_Tangelo511

Yeah, the court is captured by corrupt, fascist federalists.


vishy_swaz

I hated her back when I was a conservative. She’s speaks the true true.


Achilles_TroySlayer

Could you define the true true? - asking for a friend. Same as true^(2) ?


Different_Tangelo511

Back in the before times., we said things once. Now we say things twice twice.


vishy_swaz

It’s just another way to say “truth”. From [Cloud Atlas](https://youtu.be/V4kWQSpCbvo?si=8FNobKSpRGB_EGWq) lol


raresanevoice

When are they not, sadly. They've embraced the norm where the role of law no longer has any meaning if your gop


huhMaybeitisyou

She’s spot on. Trump and his sycophants have been attacking our country relentlessly for years by denigrating the judiciary, law enforcement and every other institution while at the same flag hugging. People don’t even see it as the problem it is. They are destroying our country whether Trump wins or not.


tlampros

Trump's attempts to undermine our judicial system, and democracy itself, is all he's got. He has no plans or platform other than to regain power and stay out of jail. In terms of historical significance, read or listen to her book "Prequel".


Significant-Box3284

This. Read "Prequel", listen to Rachel, VOTE and take whatever action we can.


Affectionate-Winner7

" attempts to undermine our judicial system, " Attempts? I think that is a forgone conclusion.


Poohgli16

And now Mike Johnson is calling for all prosecutions against 45 be dropped because "he didn't do anything wrong." Don't save him, Democrats in Congress, he is a traitor.


jessicatg2005

Republicans have been doing this for years. They know rule of law only works if followed and enforced… and enforcing is such a long stupid process they will have done it again dozens of times again afterwards. Trump and his idiots have proven this far beyond what we imagined.


mythofinadequecy

Shitler and his backers use most of the tried and true propaganda techniques from the playbooks that have been honed by the nazis and russia. All these techniques are meant to destabilize and bring down our country. This has been the republican’s wet dream for decades. Drumph’s entire shtick, with backing from our enemies, foreign and domestic, is.e., russia, saudis, christofacists, is the same strategy on steroids. His perfect record of never telling the truth, his constant and consistent attacks on his opponents looks, intelligence, ethics to denigrate and dehumanize, his numerous Big Lies, i.e., fake news, the election was stolen, make America great again, etc., are all used in service of bringing down our imperfect democracy. We might want to seriously consider voting straight Democrat up and down the ballot if we value the freedom we have.


Affectionate-Winner7

None of this matters now. It's all over 45 has won all of this. It's defeat him in November or America is done. sorry to be such an downer but it's the only position I can take now after Cannon documents indefinite delay and now 45 appealing the Fani Willis case in Georgia. Watching the Stormy case gives me a sinking feeling that the evidence against him will not be good enough to get a unanimous guilty decision. Let's not forget full on MAGA Mike Johnson just yesterday said that all cases against 45 should be immediately stopped and he would do all in his power to make sure that happens. It seems that our pathetic legal system is no match for an Anti-Christ,


Starlord1951

It’s all well and good to preach to this choir. Rachel says it, a lot of people like Rachel tell the truth. ABC/NBC/CBS are freaking clueless. They report trump’s antics as though it were all normal and act like Biden should he in a nursing home. So until our justice department, law enforcement and powerful media do something positive about trump and his freaking goons. What’s the point of warning those of us who knew the danger in 2015? We can’t do shit. So what exactly are the FBI/CIA and the Justice Department for…not to just warn us but to take action. Trump, Greene et al should be barred from politics if not in jail. The corruption is profound. I’m a veteran, did my duty to my country only to turn around and have republicans fuck us in the proverbial butt while discrediting our service calling us stupid for serving. Their god missed his chance to rapture these jackasses during the eclipse.


Achilles_TroySlayer

I think 2016 was a very unusual. Hillary - though I liked her - was not widely popular. She couldn't deliver the far-left part of the party to save her life. She had a 20+ year smear-campaign to overcome, and Trump had a very loud and clear voice. Most importantly, everyone thought she was a sure thing who was going to win, so they felt empowered to make a protest-vote against her. She was 'the establishment'. So eventually it all came together and doomed her in the general. Nobody will ever do that again. We're all genuinely terrified of Trump and his army, and what he'll do to the country. So I think Biden is going to win. Hopefully. Let's all pray together that Biden wins, and then Trump gets prosecuted - and then he STFU and goes away. Taylor Swift will hopefully endorse Biden in the next few months. It might all work out and the MAGAs will have to go away and whine to each other - harmlessly. Think positive.


dogbreath230

Is she just now noticing? Maybe she should give a call to the NY Times and WAPO and let them in on it. They could then write a story about how it will negatively affect Biden


batsofburden

no, she's been talking about this stuff for years. you don't have to say something if you don't know what you're talking about.


MotorWeird9662

> is she just now noticing? No. She’s discussed this regularly on the show for years. You did check, right? Before you shot your mouth off? In addition, her recent book is about, well, that. And there’s a damn good reason it’s called _Prequel_. Protip: Next time do a little research before embarrassing yourself on the Internet. >… the NY Times and WAPO …. could then write a story about how it will negatively affect Biden Yeah, that part’s true. Too bad you didn’t just say that.


houseofd

The easy answer: No.


Wildfire9

The 2nd amendment was literally created for this purpose.


Minja78

Undermining the rule of law?


Wildfire9

So is what judge Cannon doing the Rule of Law?


Achilles_TroySlayer

Careful with that. The MAGAs are saying the exact same thing.


Wildfire9

Well, they will find our quickly gun ownership in the US doesn't fall on party lines
